Trump and Ivanka Hit It Out of the Park

If you must judge a man, what measures should you employ?

The size of his home, the length of his yacht, the type of plane owned or the number and costs of his toys?

Or the dollars given to charities or endowed university chairs

Along with the honorary degrees at commencements he is allowed to wear?

A better verdict would be the love of his children and the seeds of values in them implanted

A moral compass of the value of work and to the lure of cutting corners never slanted

The four adult Trump children were on the RNC center stage

To express love of and pride in their father and eager to help in the war against Hillary wage

Tiffany, Eric, and Donald, Jr. gave great speeches and of a childhood devoid of silver spoons spoke

The value of work and any sense of privilege by a father to be quickly revoked

Trump’s acceptance speech was great even though so many liberal media pundits were calling it “dark”

Ivanka, his daughter, in her introduction clearly hit the ball out of the park

So far it cleared the center field bleachers and is heading into orbit around the earth

Images of color blind, gender neutral and paying equally for men or women what their talent is worth

With Trump there is no war on women so no pity that Hillary has lost her gender card

If you believe Ivanka which is hard not to do, she will have to the racist card also discard

Left only with a record which is abysmal and the fact that she cannot be trusted and to the American lies

Instead of locking her up as Trump pointed out we must her run to the White House soundly deny
